BACKGROUND Biological dinitrogen (N2) fixation, the reduction of atmospheric N2 to
ammonia, is important for maintaining the fertility of the oceans by providing biologically …

The N 2-fixing cyanobacterium Trichodesmium is an important player in the oceanic nitrogen
and carbon cycles. Trichodesmium occurs both as single trichomes and as colonies …

Abstract Nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P) and potassium (K) are important essential nutrients for
plant growth and development, but their functions in energy status remains unclear. Here …

The photosynthetic cyanobacterium Trichodesmium is widely distributed in the surface low
latitude ocean where it contributes significantly to N2 fixation and primary productivity …

Cyanobacteria of the genus Trichodesmium provide about 80 Tg of fixed nitrogen to the
surface ocean per year and contribute to marine biogeochemistry, including the …

Diatoms are a major phytoplankton group responsible for approximately 20% of carbon
fixation on Earth. They perform photosynthesis using light-harvesting chlorophylls located in …

The dominant marine filamentous N2 fixer, Trichodesmium, conducts photosynthesis and N2
fixation during the daytime. Because N2 fixation is sensitive to O2, some previous studies …

The rapid growth of diatoms makes them one of the most pervasive and productive types of
plankton in the world's ocean, but the physiological basis for their high growth rates remains …

Crocosphaera is a major dinitrogen (N2)-fixing microorganism, providing bioavailable
nitrogen (N) to marine ecosystems. The N2-fixing enzyme nitrogenase is deactivated by …

The Trichodesmium genus comprises some of the most abundant N 2-fixing organisms in
oligotrophic marine ecosystems. Since nitrogenase, the key enzyme for N 2 fixation, is …
